Draco woke with the need to use the bathroom but didn't want to get out of bed because it was so warm. Then he slowly began to realize that he was hugging something to him. The thing that was so warm.

His eyes shot open and there lay Jacob holding him in his sleep.

Bloody hell, what did I do last night? He couldn't remember going to sleep. The last thing he remembers was drinking Fire Whiskey while Jacob tried to get him to stop. The blond tried to remember the rest of the night but couldn't. He was being held tightly, his head resting under Jacobs chin. The blond loved this feeling of warmth and security. He couldn't stop himself from nuzzling his face against the shifters bare chest. The shifter never did put on a shirt after getting to Draco's house the day before. The blond stopped nuzzling when he felt Jacob take in a breath.

Jacob woke slowly and felt the blond nuzzling his chest. He smiled and took a breath. The blond froze and Jacob could hear the boy's heart quicken.

"Draco?" The shifter said softly.

"I…I don't remember last night." The boy said and Jacob felt the boys' breath on his skin.

"You just fell asleep after you used magic to change your clothes." The shifter said.

Draco quickly broke away from the shifters hold and sat up. "I have to use the bathroom," he said and left the room without looking the shifter in the eye.

As soon as Draco was in the bathroom, Jacob chuckled at the blonds' flustered state. I almost have you, Draco. He smiled in accomplishment. He had thought it might be a lot harder to get the blond to fall in love with him. He got out of bed and pulled on his shoes and went and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Yes?" The blond asked. He sounded hesitant.

"I'm gonna head home to pick up some things. I'll be back soon. Jared and Leah are patrolling outside if you need anything." Jacob said reluctant to go, but he knew Draco would probably want time alone to figure out his feelings and Jacob really did need to get some things from his house.

"Uh…OK."

Jacob smiled again before leaving. He jogged home, not bothering to phase.

As soon as Jacob left, Draco came out of the bathroom. He was relieved because he didn't have to face the shifter when they had spent the entire night cuddled together. But he was also saddened because he wanted to be near the shifter.

The blond headed downstairs and Winky handed him a cup of coffee. He was sitting in the living room looking out the window as the dark clouds settled in when there was a knock on the door.

Winky appeared at the door. "It is sir Seth master Malfoy, shall I answer?" Winky asked and Draco nodded.

"Hey Winky, how are you?" Seth greeted happily and walked in. Winky lowered her head without saying anything.

"Hey Draco, mind if I hang with you for a while?" Seth said and sat on the couch.

"Hello Seth," the blond greeted with a smile, "you know you're welcome. Are you hungry?"

Seth eyes lit up. "Sure am."

Draco asked Winky to cook breakfast for the small shifter. The two talked and joked around. He really liked this kid. He was a good person and always very cheerful.

When Jacob walked inside his house, he saw his dad making himself some breakfast.

"Hey dad." He greeted.

"Jacob." Billy said surprised, "Finally decided to pay your old man a visit?" He joked.

"Sorry I haven't been here in a while. I've just been trying to keep Draco safe from Victoria and…well, um…" He almost said Draco's crazy aunt but then he would have to explain about Draco's Wizard life and Billy wasn't allowed to know because he was 'muggle' as Draco would put it.

"I get that you want to protect him," billy said him with difficulty, "but please don't forget about me Jacob, you're all I have."

"You have my sisters too."

"Yes but they have moved on and are starting their own lives now."

"I know dad, but don't forget that I have to start my own life soon too."

Billy looked sad, "Your right, I'm just reluctant to see you, the baby of the family go." He smiled and continued fixing his food.

Jacob went and hugged his dad, "Dad, you know I'll never leave you as long as I'm alive, I'm just looking for my place in the world and it just happens to be by Draco's side. But I'll never forget about you. You know you can count on me, right."

"Thank you son." Billy smiled and gave him a fierce hug.

Jacob then went to his room and packed some clothes. He mostly took shorts and clean boxers. He also took a freshly clean black t-shirt and his favorite dark blue jeans and his brown boots. That's what he would wear to Alice's party tonight. He also packed his cologne and deodorant before heading back out. Before heading back to Draco's he did a quick stop at the high school graduation ceremony just to congratulate Bella. He was mad at her but he wasn't going to be an ass and not congratulate her on such an important day of her life.

He waited outside for about 15 minutes before everyone started flooding out of the school. He could see yellow-gold graduation gowns and he quickly spotted his friend.

"Jacob! You came to see me?" Bella asked in happiness.

"Yea, congratulations Bella."

"Thanks." Edward, Alice and Jasper soon joined the two.

"So you and Draco are coming to my party right?" Alice asked over the many voices of the graduated class and their family and friends.

Bella once again became angry. Why did Alice have to invite Draco?

Jasper felt Bella's anger again. It had happened the day before at Draco's house but now he understood who the girl was angry at.

Edward looked at Jasper and Jasper thought: She's angry, very angry. Edward.

Edward gave him a questioning look.

It's against Draco. But I'm worried. She doesn't just hate him, she resents him very deeply. Jasper thought and Edward was confused as to why Bella would feel such emotions towards Jacobs imprint unless…?

"See you there then." Alice said as Jacob was already leaving, headed back to Draco's.

When Jacob reached the blonds' house, he right away noticed that Seth was there. He knocked and Winky opened the door.

"Come in sir Jacob." Winky moved aside and let the shifter in.

"Thank you Winky where is Draco?" he asked but before Winky could answer, Seth's loud laughter came from upstairs. What are they doing upstairs? Jacob got nervous thinking Seth was betraying him and doing something with his imprint.

He quickly ran up the stairs and into Draco's room where he found Draco sitting on the floor with a pout on his face and he was surrounded by blue feathers. Seth was in a corner laughing his head off.

"What are you guys doing?" Jacob asked.

"Draco tried getting a bunch of little blue birds to attack me but it back fired and instead they attacked him!" Seth said as his laughter calmed.

"I worded the spell wrong, ok!" Draco said angry but then a smile crept up on his face.

Jacob felt foolish for thinking wrongly of Seth.

Seth left not long after and Draco was left alone with Jacob. They had two hours before they had to go to the party so they began to get ready. Draco showered first and then dressed in his room while Jacob showered. Draco put on a pair of black jeans, a gray long-sleeved shirt and was taking his black jacket. He waited for the shifter down stairs. When Jacob walked down the stairs, Draco had a hard time not starring.

"Do I look OK?" Jacob asked to tease Draco who was starring.

"You look…great." The blond said flushing.

Merlin does he look good! And why the hell am I thinking that? Draco thought in frustration.

When Jacob reached Draco downstairs, the blond was overwhelmed by the shifters cologne.

Bloody hell, he smells really good.

"Shall we go?" the shifter asked as he noticed the blond's heart beat faster.

"Sure."

They took Draco's car and Jacob gave Draco directions to get to the Cullen's house.

When they got there, there were already a lot of people.

"Jacob! Draco! I'm so glad you came!" Alice said happily and hugged each of the boys.

They went in and saw that Alice really outdid herself with the decorations. The lights were dimmed and the music was blasting. Everyone was either dancing or having drinks or snacks.

Jacob and Draco stayed off to the side for a while until Edward Bella, Emmett and Rosalie came over to them.

"So this is Draco, huh?" Emmett said with a wide smile, "We're going to have to see just how powerful you are." Rosalie elbowed him in the side as she eyed Bella to see if she had noticed Emmett's comment, but the girl had noticed.

What the hell are they all hiding from me? Bella thought and glared at Draco.

"Draco, this is Emmett and Rosalie." Jacob introduced the couple.

"Nice to meet you." The blond said with a smile.

Nice to meet you…ugh! Belle mocked in her head. So glad Edward can't read my thoughts.

Jasper noticed Bella's mood and pulled Edward aside.

"I'm worried; I've never felt her in so much anger and disdain. Why would she hate Draco so much, she barely just met him yesterday?" Jasper asked in confusion.

"I hate to even consider it but, I think she hates him because Jacob likes him now and not her." Edward said with a sad face.

"But she loves you…doesn't she?" Jasper asked a bit doubtful now.

"I'm sure she loves me, but she loves him too." Edward admitted it and it felt terrible.

"What will you do?" Jasper asked placing a hand on Edwards shoulder in comfort.

"I'll wait. If it turns out that she loves him more, than I'll leave her. Until then, I'll wait."

Jacob and Draco were talking with Emmett and Rosalie had gone off somewhere when Carlisle approached with his wife Esme.

"Hello there Draco. This is my wife Esme." The doctor introduced.

"It's nice to meet you."

"It's good to meet you as well." Esme replied.

"So how are your injuries?" Shall we take a look at them?" the doctor said and smiled at him.

"Yes." Jacob said quickly. He wanted to be sure Draco was healing ok.

Well the stitches in your wrist can be removed in a few days. Your ribs are healing remarkably fast and the bruise on your shoulder is practically gone. How is that possible?" the doctor asked the blond. They had gone up to Carlisle's study.

"I have a cream that was charmed with magic. It heals the wound a lot faster than it would normally. I've been applying it to my ribs and my shoulder."

"I see. That is a great help then. Well everything looks good so why don't we head back down stairs and enjoy the party." The doctor said with a smile.

When they rejoined Jacob, Emmett and Esme, they saw Alice had stopped in the middle of descending the stairs, eyes glazed over.

Bella had seen her and quickly went to her.

"Alice, what did you see?" Bella asked.

"There coming here." The pixe-like vampire said in worry.

All of the Cullen's including Jacob, Draco, and Bella, gathered in a quiet room away from the party.

"What's going on?" Jacob asked.

"Victoria has gathered an army of new born vampires and she's bringing them here."

"Do you know when they'll arrive?" The doctor asked.

"They'll be here for the first snow storm. That will be in a week." Alice said.

"How many new borns did you see?" Asked Jacob.

"At least 2 dozen maybe more…" Alice cut herself off as she began to have another vision. Her eyes glazed over and she looked like she was in pain. Edward, able to see what she saw flinched in pain as well. Then Alice collapsed and Jasper catched her before she hit the ground.

Alice looked at everyone with fear in her eyes.

"Alice are you OK? What did you see?" the doctor asked but she stayed silent. "Edward," the doctor turned to Edward as an alternative. "What did she see?"

Edward had fear in his eyes as well, "It was darkness. I don't know what it was but there was moving shadows that flew through the woods. The shadows, they turned into people and they began to follow an image that hung in the sky." He closed his eyes for a second, "The image was a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth…" Edward said, "…and a woman who looked insane," Edward turned towards Draco, "She was going to kill you." He finished in a whisper.

Draco knew what the shadows were. It was the death eaters, they were all coming to kill him.

Jacob hugged Draco from behind when he saw the boy trembling. "I'm not going to let her hurt you." The shifter soothed.

"Do you know who the woman is?" the doctor asked Draco.

"She's my aunt…she wants to kill me for revenge." The blond said softly.

"And the shadows?" Edward asked.

"They're called death eaters, they worked for an evil man and they want to kill me because I betrayed them all."

"Do you know when they'll be here and how many?" Carlisle asked Alice who was now standing and paying attention.

"I don't know how many, it was too dark to see the shadows. I'm also not sure but they'll be here soon after Victoria and her new borns arrive. It could be that same day or the next, I'm not sure." She looked upset at her lack of knowing.

"Can somebody please tell me what you're all hiding from me?" Bella spoke up all of a sudden with frustration and anger in her voice. "I know it has something to do with Draco and if it's a danger to us all, I have the right to know." She demanded.

Everyone stood in silence until Draco spoke.

"I believe you are too involved not to be told what is going on and who I am." Draco said to Bella. He decided she knew a lot about magic already and she was entitled to be aware of a possible threat to her life. Draco told her he was a wizard and began to recount the story of the war. He told them about Voldemort and the first war. He told of Harry Potter and the second war where he was forced to follow the dark lord. He recounted how Harry defeated the dark lord and his own imprisonment in Azkaban, how harry and his friends helped him be declared innocent and then his decision to move to America. Draco had only told Jacob before this but with the shifter there comforting him; he was able to tell it again.

"I had no idea of such…a different world that exists right in the middle of everything." Carlisle said in awe. "And to know that there was a war of such a large scale and not to have known, it's shocking, it really is."

"To have gone through what you've been through, I truly sympathize." Rosalie said to everyone's shock.

Bella was surprised at first, then she felt a bit sorry for the blond, but her emotions began to get the better of her again. Even Rosalie seemed to like the blond better than her.

He's just trying to get everyone to feel sorry for him! He wants to take them away from me but I won't let him.

Jasper again noticed Bella's emotions and through him Edward. There was extreme anger in her. It was too much anger for Bella to have for it to be because of Jacob not loving her anymore. There was something in her that was changing, or maybe not changing, but something breaking free of its shell. Something that was always there but only now did it begin to show its true form.

Jacob drove back home as Draco was too upset about the news of the arrival of not only Victoria and her army of new borns, but Bellatrix and her army of death eaters. Draco had expected Bellatrix to come after him, but to know that every free death eater would be coming after his blood as well, he began to lose the little hope that he had managed to gain.

Jacob pulled up to the house and Draco walked into the house and up to his room almost zombie like. He had no hope of surviving. There was just no way for him to win against all of the death eaters. He didn't even know how many were coming. Was it a dozen, two dozen? The blond threw himself on the bed and hugged himself as tears began to stream down his face.

There's no hope for me, there never was. He cried and then like usual he felt Jacobs warm protective arms pull him over so that the blond was pressed into the shifters chest. They lay there, Draco crying into Jacobs' chest and the shifter rubbed soothing circles into the blonds' back to calm him. Draco could hardly care anymore that Jacob was holding him in such an intimate way. He stopped fighting his emotions and let the comfort that he felt while in his arms wash over him.

Morning came and Draco awoke when he felt the shifter's hand rubbing his back in such a gentle manner. He opened his eyes to find himself in the same position they had been in last night, with the blonds head resting just under the shifters chin. It was actually the same position they had woken up to the day before.

"Morning." Draco said.

"Good morning." Jacob responded and kept rubbing the boys back.

"I want to thank you Jacob," the blond said into the shifters chest, "You've been with me since I moved here, and I don't know what I would have done without you. I probably would have killed myself from my own depression before Bellatrix could kill me."

"Draco stop talking like if you've given up. Bellatrix won't win." He said sternly, "I won't let her."

Draco sighed into the shifters chest and then went to get up. How about some breakfast?" the blond asked Jacob with half a smile.

Winky prepared breakfast and for the first time, Draco actually ate something. He joined the shifter at the table and ate toast and a waffle. He also drank his coffee as usual.

There was defeat in those silver eyes and Jacob couldn't help but feel like if the blond was saying goodbye to life. He wasn't going to allow him to die because if he died… then I die with him.

There was a tapping on the kitchen window and Jacob saw the same owl as before with an envelope attached to its leg. Draco went and let the owl in and gave it some owl treats. He grabbed the letter and went to sit down again.

"I think I know what it says." The blond said without opening the letter. It was from Harry Potter. "It must say that Bellatrix is coming here after all, just like in Alice's vision."

"You should read it, Perhaps your friend was able to get you the protection he promised to get you." The shifter said and Draco looked up in hope.

"Do you think…?"

"There's only one way to find out." Jacob smiled.

Draco opened the letter and read:

Dear Draco,

I'm sorry I haven't written in a few days but things have been pretty hectic around here. First of all I think you should know that we discovered Bellatrix's hideaway. The ministry sent aurors to arrest the death eaters and they managed to capture most of them. Unfortunately about 7 of them escaped including Bellatrix. I have also requested the ministry to send aurors to protect you. You can imagine how difficult that was. They all opposed at first with the excuse that you were once a traitor and deserved no such protection from them. Fortunately Hermione was there to tell them off and put them in their place, since I know nothing about laws and politics. Thanks to Hermione's brilliant choice of words, or threats I might add, they decided to send you 4 aurors and Hermione, Ron and myself will be going as well. With you we'll be 8. We'll have them outnumbered 8 to 7. Don't worry Draco, you'll be ok. We won't let them hurt you. We were given the suspicion that they won't be leaving town for another week or so, but we'll be arriving in America in 2 days, so enjoy your elbow space because your house is about to get overcrowded.

PS, don't worry about the space; we'll be bringing our charmed tents with us.

Harry Potter

Draco inhaled a long and painful breath. He felt relief wash over him and he slumped back against the chair as Jacob grabbed the letter and read it.

"What did I tell you?" Jacob said in laughter, "See, you can't give up so easily. You're friend Harry is bringing the protection you'll need." Jacob smiled and laughed.

Draco couldn't help but smile back. The shifters laughter was contagious and he too began to laugh with him, officially destroying the depressing mood that had lain over the house.

"Master Malfoy, the Sir Seth is at the door." Winky said appearing suddenly.

"Let him in." The blond said. He and Jacob were soon joined for breakfast by a cheery Seth.

"I am here to invite the two of you to a beach bonfire. Only the pack is going but we all decided to invite you along, " Seth said to Draco, "since you're Jacob's—" Jacob kicked Seth under the table, "—I mean since we're protecting you and, um, Sam thought it a good way for you to meet us all together for once." He finished with a smile.

"A beach bonfire…What is that?" The blond asked. Not knowing of the muggle practice.

"Are you serious? You don't know what a bonfire is?" Seth asked, his mouth hanging open.

"No." the blond replied.

"Then we're definitely going," Jacob said, "I also have to inform the pack of what we found out last night, about Victoria and another threat." He said more seriously.

"OK, well then be at the beach by sunset. We're having hotdogs!" the small shifter said excitedly.

Seth went home not long after they finished breakfast and Draco and Jacob were left to themselves. They spent most of the day talking about the fight that was to come. They first discussed the best option for his and Bella's safety from Victoria.

"Does she hate me?" Draco asked, "I've noticed that she looks at me like if I was an enemy."

"I'm not sure." Jacob lied. He knew Bella hated Draco, but he couldn't tell the blond because then he'd have to explain that the reason is because Jacob imprinted on him.

"I wish we could be friends, but I don't think she wants to."

"Just try to stay away from her. She can be pretty…selfish sometimes." Jacob said.

Evening came all too fast and before they knew it, Jacob and Draco were parking the blonds black BMW in the beach parking lot. They got down and headed towards the sand where they could see the members of the pack around a blazing fire.

They were already cooking the hotdogs and the scent flooded their nose with the aromatic smell of cooked sausage.

"It's good to see you came." Sam said.

"Draco I don't believe you've met Sam, he's the leader of our pack." Jacob introduced him.

"It's nice meeting you at last." Draco said.

"Same here."

"Also, that's Leah, Quil and Paul. I believe you only met them while in their wolf forms." He introduced everyone and they all talked animatedly for a while.

The sun had set and the fire burned with vigor when Jacob told the pack about Alice's vision about Victoria and also of Bellatrix. Draco then explained once again Why Bellatrix was after him.

"I don't know much about your world or how your magic works, but I don't think we are capable of fighting against such power. We'd be killed from a distance before even getting a chance to fight." Sam said in worry.

"Draco received a letter this morning from his friend, he's coming here and bringing 7 others to protect Draco and fight the death eaters until they're dead or captured." Jacob informed them.

"Well that's good to know, we're going to need their help. Will they be fighting Victoria as well?" Sam asked.

"I don't know, I haven't told him of what's going on here." Draco said. He was sitting next to Jacob on a log.

They continued to discuss the issue for a while longer and then just relaxed and enjoyed each other's company. It was 11 pm and getting late. Leah said goodbye and took an unwilling Seth home. Sam also went home to Emily. Embry and Quil went off to Patrol around Bella's house and soon Jared and Paul went home. The only ones left were Jacob and Draco. The fire was dying down already and the cold beach air was getting too cold.

Jacob had moved to sit on the sand with his back resting against the log that Draco still sat on. They enjoyed the silence that fell over them and they just listened to the crashing waves.

Jacob noticed when Draco's teeth began to chatter from the cold and pulled him down onto the sand and sat him in between his legs. He put his arms around the shocked boy and hugged him from behind. The shifters body heat warmed him almost instantly.

"Thanks." The blond said and sighed, letting his body melt back into the other.

About 10 minutes passed before the blond spoke.

"We should go back, it's getting really late." He said and went to get up but Jacob didn't let go. Instead he held the blond tighter. "Jacob, let go, I wanna go home now."

"Please tell me how you feel about me?" Jacob said suddenly and caught Draco off guard.

"What? I…I don't—" The blond stuttered.

"Don't lie Draco, because I know you feel something. Just tell me, please. I can't take it anymore." The shifter said pleading. He let go of Draco and the blond turned on his knees to look at the shifter who had his head downcast.

Draco didn't know what to do or say. He knew he felt for the shifter but he had been pushing the feelings away. But now, looking at the way Jacob seemed so devastated, Draco couldn't hold back those feelings anymore.

He answered Jacobs question by leaning forward and placing a soft kiss on the shifters lips. He moved back right away and blushed bright red. Jacob looked at the blond in shock.

Draco went to stand up when suddenly Jacob grabbed him and pulled him onto his lap so that the blond was straddling his legs and pressed their lips together. Draco was too shocked to respond at first but then grabbed a hold of the shifters shoulders and kissed back. He didn't expect it to feel this good. He had rejected his feelings because he thought it was wrong, but it couldn't be wrong when it felt so good.

Jacob ran his fingers through Draco's hair and he licked the blonds' lower lip as he tried to get the him to open his mouth. He wanted to feel the warmth inside of the blonds' mouth. Draco opened his mouth and Jacob quickly plunged his tongue inside and began to explore the blond. Their hands roamed over each other as their tongues pushed against one another in an effort to get as much of each other as possible.

They broke apart as their need for air became too great. They gasped as they kept their foreheads locked together. Jacob reached up and cupped the blonds' cheek.

"I love you so much." The shifter said as he gasped for air.

"I…I think I do too." Draco whispered and smiled.

Jacob kissed the blonds lips and pulled him into a tight hug. He felt so overjoyed he could cry.

"Come on," Jacob said as he let the blond go, "Let's get you home before you catch a cold."

Draco climbed off the shifter and stood. Jacob also stood and put a protective arm around the blonds' shoulders as they walked to the car.

When they got to Draco's house they went upstairs and prepared for bed. Draco had immediately snuggled into the shifters arms as soon as they lay in bed. Jacob couldn't be happier and he held the blond close the entire night. For the first time in a very long time did Draco feel happy, loved, and cherished.
